After buying a new Sony Vaio laptop for personal use and recording, I'm still trying to figure out the best way to get sound into the machine. I have seen the TC Firewire units for $1000 or more, and the various USB products for $300... (The SoundBlaster Extigy is only around $100...) Does anyone have any experience with this stuff? I don't need cutting edge technology, but would like to record audio with MIDI and not have "pops" in the final product. Let me know if you have any good ideas, or know of anything I should stay away from...
Thanks!
